Nothing is superb and nothing is awful. Solidly a middle of the road journey.

Dallas Buyers Club (2013) 4/5
Wandering just a little bit at times but with a strong cast and a lot of good choices.
Enemy (2013) 3/5
A subconscious roller coaster that is more interesting to ponder after the viewing.
Panic Room (2002) 3.5/5
I vibe hard with single location movies. Panic room is easily consumed and very rewatchable. There are clear mistakes that cut it short of something great, a few frustrating choices in an otherwise enjoyable flick.
Caddo Lake (2024) 3.5/5
Clever film with an interesting setting. Maybe break out pen and paper afterwards to make sense of it, if that is your jam.
Coraline (2009) 4/5
A wonderful movie with a rare aesthetic, signature to its director, Henry Selick.
I feel like this is a must watch for visuals and music alone.
Distant (2024) 3/5
It is not a perfect, there is a scene that looks cool but moves nothing and a hint of romance crops up that is awkward, but I think anyone who enjoys Sci-Fi can find something here. I think the first half is a stronger movie, but thrill junkies may disagree. Seeing what the planet has to offer was fun, even if not surprising. Anthony Ramos was a solid lead.
It is a shame people are going to be so hard on this movie. I have zero regret watching Distant.
